Short Bio:

Aspiring author, fantasy and historical fiction reader. I write poetry as well. I love adventure and stories of adventure. I grew up on tales of King Arthur, King David, Hercules, Audie Murphy and other heroes. In regards to heroic deeds and tales of those who dare to take up the mantle of hero and walk that lonely path, I have never grown weary of hearing such tales. So much so that I now wish to put heroic deeds in writing myself. It is an homage of sorts. I loved Beowulf in school when others disdained that epic read. Homer’s Illiad and Odyssey is another great read. I spent days enthralled by The Scarlet Pimpernel. The list can go on and on. People needs heroes. We need to see the heights to which we can attain and a hero gives us that. That is what I want to bring to the world. That sense that Adventure’s call summons a hero that the world needs in some way. To show us, we mere mortals, what we can dare to achieve.

About Mike Wigington's Reading & Writing

What can I say? I read to escape like most everyone. Anything that can take me out of this world and into another and have a romp of an adventure, I will read. I don't want to read things that get too preachy. Not into reading fiction or fantasy that deals with social issues we face today. That borders on propaganda and is not art. I love a good sword and sorcery story. Fafhrd and Gray Mouser, Conan the Barbarian anyone? I read for fun and relaxation.
